Machiko Okazaki‘s shop

Authentic Japanese Specialties

For Machiko Okazaki, cooking is an art of inspiration, tradition, and authenticity. In her charming bottega, tradition takes center stage, but with a modern twist!

Her love for pastry started early. At just six years old, on her daily walk to school, she would often get lost in the eavenly aroma of freshly baked sweets. But it was Hiromi, an elderly pastry chef from Osaka, who truly shaped her passion, welcoming little Machiko with warm smiles and irresistible treats. That childhood memory became the heart of Hiromi Cake, her own little pastry shop bringing the flavors of Japan to life.

Here, every treat is crafted using authentic Japanese recipes, with a commitment to traditional ingredients and techniques. No machines, just the skilled hands of dedicated pastry chefs, ensuring that every bite stays true to its origins.

The selection is a delightful journey through Japan’s sweet traditions, with a touch of innovation! Discover Wagashi, the delicate, traditional Japanese sweets, like Dorayaki, Mochi, and Cotton Cheesecake, alongside Yougashi, pastries inspired by Western flavors but reinvented with a Japanese soul.

And it’s not just sweets! The bottega also offers a curated selection of savory Japanese delights. From the beloved Nigiri and sushi rolls to more unique specialties like Chirashi and Sukiyaki, every bite is a taste of Japan’s rich culinary heritage.

Step into Machiko Okazaki’s world, where tradition meets creativity, and every dish tells a story.
